Pet Transport from the United Kingdom to Georgia – Rules & Import Requirements

Required Documents for Import

Pet Health Certificate

A mandatory document for importing pets from the UK to Georgia. It must be issued by a licensed veterinarian and completed in English and Georgian (or accompanied by a certified translation).

The certificate must include:

  • Information about the owner and the pet (species, breed, age, coat color).
  • Proof of rabies vaccination (date, type of vaccine, validity period).
  • Confirmation of treatment for parasites (internal and external).
  • Results of a clinical examination conducted within five days before departure.


Microchip

Required for all pets. The microchip must comply with ISO standards 11784/11785.


Rabies Vaccination

Mandatory vaccination. It must be administered at least 21 days before entry into Georgia. The first vaccination cannot be given before the pet reaches 12 weeks of age.


Rabies Antibody Titer Test

Not required for imports from the UK, as the country is recognized as a low-risk zone for rabies.


Fit-to-Fly Certificate (if applicable)

Required by airlines for air transport. Issued by a veterinarian within 1–5 days before the flight.


Parasite Treatment Requirements

For Dogs:

Mandatory treatment for internal parasites (worms) must be completed 120–24 hours before entering Georgia. The treatment must be effective against Echinococcus multilocularis, and details (date, medication) must be recorded in the certificate.


For Cats:

Internal parasite treatment is not mandatory but is recommended to ensure the pet's health and avoid potential issues at the border.


External Parasites (fleas and ticks):

Treatment is not mandatory for cats and dogs but is strongly recommended.

Transportation Requirements

No more than five pets are allowed per person for non-commercial purposes.


Age of the Pet

The pet must be at least 4 months old, considering the 21-day waiting period after rabies vaccination.
